The Lime Business In Maine.

Hon. E. X. O'Brien, of Thomaston, who is
largely engaged in the manufacture of lime,
at recent interview in Commissioner Mat
thews. made the following statements:
In Rockland, Rockport and Thomaston,
where the lime business of Maine is carried
on. about 1900, 900 barrels will be manufac-
tured this year, larger production than
that of any previous year. An average Of
is men to kiln are employed in manufac.
turing, trimming the lime, transpor ting
rocks, ouarrying and removing the dirt from
the quarres. As there are some IS kilns in
Knox county, about 1000 men and $50 horses
are employed. The manufacture of barrels
is largely carried on outside the limits of the
village, giving employment to large num-
Der Of coopers. The price paid for barrels
is from 18 to 20 cents each. About five cords
of wood are consumed in the manufacture
of 100 barrels of lime, consequently In the
manufacture of the amount produced, 95, 200
cords of wood are required, at the average
cost of $3.50 q cord. For the transportation
of the lime product to markets, every kiln
requires from three to four vessels of a ca
pacity of from 800 to 2C0O barrels. The wages
paid TO laborers are much higher than the
average, kilnmen being paid 81 day, quar-
rymen an average Of SGD, and teamsters $2
The firm Of Burgess, OBrien q Co., in
ThomastOn, has manufactured 81, 900 barrels
of lime since February 10th.
The above facts show the Importance OF
this local industry, not only to Knox county
but to the State.

Hannibal Hannlin on Pensions

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30.-The veteran Hanni-
bal Hamlin made a telling speech yesterday,
and the encampment instantly followed his
leadership. He claimed that there are a
great many questions which Grand Army
men indorse, of course, but he insisted that
the organization should for the present con-
centrate its efforts upon urging Congress to
relieve the necessities of the thousands of
suffering comrades who. demand sympathy
and aid, and until this is accomplished the
national encampment ought not to attempt
other labor. The encampment took this as
pure gospel, and the question was settled.

resolutions censuring the President for his
